LICHALP

Lobothallia recedens (Taylor) A. Nordin, Savić & Tibell

Syn.: Aspicilia bohemica Körb., Aspicilia recedens (Taylor) Arnold, Lecanora bohemica (Körb.) H. Magn., Lecanora griseola Th. Fr., Lecanora recedens (Taylor) Nyl., Lecanora subcinerea Nyl., Lecidea recedens Taylor

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a lichen ranging from the boreal zone to the Mediterranean mountains, found on periodically wetted but rapidly drying siliceous rocks in upland areas. It is ecologically similar to Lasallia pustulata, and is probably more widespread in the Alps.
